Trash Moon Hootenanny

Join the Trash Moon Collective for its 3rd annual Hootenanny on Thursday, November 20th! What started as a collaborative, festive, antic-filled fundraiser to raise money for a dear friend in our bluegrass community, is now an annual celebration of Salt Lake City’s bluegrass, old time, and country music scene. Members from some of the hottest ‘grass bands in town – Pixie and the Partygrass Boys, Theoretical Blonde, the Pickpockets, Pompe n Honey, and more – will come together one-night only for a shred-tastic collaboration. Think Nashville’s Grand Ol Opry, but with more color, more crunch, more of a twang that can only come from musicians who play hard in the mountains and on the stage.

The show will include highly creative and energetic collaborations, costumes, and audience participation. It is not just a show, but a celebration. If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about banjos and see your favorite pickers together on a big, beautiful stage, grab your tickets now!

Ticket sales will go to the performing artists and support the Trash Moon Collective, an organization that is building the Salt Lake City acoustic community through organizing events, promotion, and media. We have a fun, lighthearted vibe and connect people who resonate with acoustic folk music traditions. We organize grass roots concerts in backyards and at the local artisan market Neighborhood Hive featuring local and touring musicians; run a monthly Honky Tonk and Square Dance at Fisher Brewing; ​partner with Acoustic Music (aka the coolest guitar and banjo shop in town); host a weekly bluegrass and old time jam Wednesdays at Woodbine Food Hall; book a weekly Bluegrass Night at Gracie’s; promote and connect local players; and so much more.

Got that social media ennui? Looking for community? Always wanted to learn fiddle or mandolin? Feel like the world is imploding? Come to the Trash Moon Collective Hootenanny on November 20th to learn more, see an amazing show, support your bada$$ local scene, meet new friends, and join our community.
